National Tour Of Romantic Musical 'Once' At The Shubert

Valentine Day's may be over but romance lingers when the national tour of the musical "Once" — winner of eight Tony Awards, including best musical — makes its Connecticut premiere at New Haven's Shubert Theater on Wednesday, Feb. 26.

The show, which runs until March 2, features an ensemble of actors and musicians who play their own instruments onstage, and the story centers on a handsome but forlorn Dublin street musician — he's about given up on his talent — when a beautiful quirky young woman takes a sudden interest in his haunting love songs (and him).

If your Valentine's gift sucked, it's not too late to make a save. Information: 203-562-5666, 888-736-2663 and shubert.com.
